Editor's note: TC Media and The Compass would like to thank Edward Roberts for his contributions to our publication.
We have published just under 50 Past Imperfect columns on a bi-weekly basis over the past two years, and each offered some valuable insight into this province's colourful and sometimes contentious history.
This marks the final instalment of Past Imperfect, at least for now, as Mr. Roberts works on other literary projects.

Ed Roberts has had a lifelong interest in the history of Newfoundland and Labrador.
He was an MHA for 23 years, and served as the province's lieutenant-governor from 2002-2008.He can be reached by email at the following: edwardmroberts@gmail.com
